The methodological location of meta-scientific structuralism

Abstract

He take this occasion of a well-deserved homage to my friend Torretti to return to the subject, not so much this time to respond to possible criticisms or objections, but rather to situate ideographically and methodologically the structuralist approach, pointing out at the same time what I consider to be its essential elements. The "historical" perspective provided by the years that have elapsed since this meta-scientific program began to develop can help us in this endeavor, and I hope that this question will not be completely indifferent to Torretti.
